​Heritage Sites: A Dance Film Virtual Screening and Conversation
February 12, 2021
7:30pm EST
​Event is FREE
Hosted online via Zoom

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89950331745

Join Dr Jamie Marich,  Alexandra Bodnarchuk, the choreographer/director/producer of the film, and Dancing Mindfulness Facilitator and performer Alicia Hann,  for a virtual screening of the film, Heritage Sites.  Set in an enigmatic space containing a bathtub, we initially see an interplay between the water and each dancer as they tentatively touch, experience, and immerse themselves in it. Filmed on location in a warehouse in St. Paul, the dancers eventually transcend the confines of the tub to the floor of the space. Moving deftly between the pillars they jump, run, and sway. The film’s most intriguing moments may stem from the intimate shots of individual dancers that capture a glistening tongue, the sound of a breath, and the slap of a thigh up close. 

Artistic Associate Brandon Anderson Musser’s soundtrack layers in live sound over a supportive musical landscape that amplifies the vulnerability of the dancers’ performances. Cinematographer Arlo Myren’s camera work creates a world that is unfettered and unconcerned with glamourising dance. We see dirt on the dancer’s feet and underwear riding up; it’s presence grounding us in the moment on screen. 
​
The screening is followed by a discussion with Dr. Jamie, Alexandra and Alicia on a topic related to the artistic process or ethos. Q&A to follow. 60 minute run time.
